荃灣最有大自然價值的郊遊徑
The Most Natural & Valuable Hiking Trail in Tsuen Wan
說起荃灣的行山路徑，不得不提起城門水塘。
We
would like to introduce the path from Pineapple Dam to Lead Mine Pass. Starting
at Pineapple Dam, you will first pass through the west of Shing Mun Reservoir
to the north of the reservoir, and then you can walk along the restricted car road
to go to Lead Mine Pass. Finally, you can just simply follow the same route to back
to the beginning.
此外，你還會經過城門水塘的大城石澗，它是遠足界所選的九大名澗之一 ， 澗面寬闊、水源充足，是城門水塘的主石澗。那裏有水有石有草地，景觀開闊，很美，途中可沿石階 到那裏遊玩一番。
在沿路上都會見到一些猴子，對一些城市人來説可算是一個難得接觸野生動物的機會。
這條路線是行山人士的熱門路線，在假日行走，頗為安全，而且交通亦算方便。單從波蘿壩到鉛礦坳來回往返，大約需三小時，若同時到大城石澗和標本林遊玩及參觀，則最好預五個小時。
起點： 城門水塘菠蘿壩

The Most Natural & Valuable Hiking Trail in Tsuen Wan
說起荃灣的行山路徑，不得不提起城門水塘。
城門水塘位於新界中部，是郊遊、燒烤、接觸大自然、攝影及緩步跑等的好去處，加上有不同交通工具直達該處，以及有大量的燒烤地方及大面積的郊遊地方，使這裡每逢假日都有不少遊人。

Mun Reservoir is located in the centre of New Territories and is a good place
for picnic, barbecue, approaching the nature, taking photos, jogging and hiking
etc.

reason of Shing Mun Reservoir to become a very popular place in weekends and holidays
is that the transportation is very convenient. Visitors can utilize different
